The Solemn Collects of Good Friday The Solemn Collects of Good Friday Service adapted from the Book of Common Prayer by The Rev. Josephine Robertson, All Saints Episcopal Church, Bellevue, WA and the Rev. Joseph Peters-Mathews, St. Hilda St. Patrick, Edmonds, WA. Changes to the content of the BCP 1979 Solemn Collects are highlighted in red. The people say together the biddings normally read by the deacon. There are also some biddings to the Collects omitted, as is the entire Solemn Collect for those “who have not received the Gospel of Christ” which some may consider too much liberty taken with authorized rites. Where appropriate, some punctuation marks were changed and some clauses within the biddings further edited to reflect their elaborative structure in the BCP 1979. – Dr. James Farwell The solemn collects may be prayed kneeling, standing, or seated as any are able. One Dear People of God: Our heavenly Father sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved; that all who believe in him might be delivered from the power of sin and death, and become heirs with him of everlasting life. We pray, therefore, for people everywhere according to their needs. All Let us pray for the holy catholic Church of Christ throughout the world; for all those who meet in homes on these holy days for those isolated due to illness or age that all your people might be one. Silence One Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. All Let us pray for all nations and peoples of the earth, and for those to whom their care is entrusted, that by God's help they may seek justice and truth, and live in peace and concord. Silence One Almighty God, kindle, we pray, in every heart the true love of peace, and guide with your wisdom those who take counsel for the nations of the earth; that in tranquility your dominion may increase, until the earth is filled with the knowledge of your love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. All Let us pray for all who suffer and are afflicted in body or in mind; For the hungry and the homeless, the destitute and the oppressed For the sick, the wounded, and the crippled. For those in loneliness, fear, and anguish For those who face temptation, doubt, selfishness, and despair For the sorrowful and bereaved For prisoners and captives, and those in mortal danger May God in mercy comfort and relieve them, and grant them the knowledge of his love, and stir up in us the will and patience to minister to their needs. Silence One Gracious God, the comfort of all who sorrow, the strength of all who suffer: Let the cry of those in misery and need come to you, that they may find your mercy present with them in all their afflictions; and give us, we pray, the strength to serve them for the sake of him who suffered for us, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. All Let us commit ourselves to God, and pray for the grace of a holy life, that, with all who have departed this world and have died in the peace of Christ, and those whose faith is known to God alone, we may be accounted worthy to enter into the fullness of the joy of our Lord, and receive the crown of life in the day of resurrection. Silence One O God of unchangeable power and eternal light: Look favorably on your whole Church, that wonderful and sacred mystery; by the effectual working of your providence, carry out in tranquility the plan of salvation; let the whole world see and know that things which were cast down are being raised up, and things which had grown old are being made new, and that all things are being brought to their perfection by him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. [Then follow the anthems….] .

WEDNESDAY 6:00 PM TENEBRAE WITH THE TRINITY CHAMBER SINGERS The name Tenebrae (the Latin word for “darkness” or “shadows”) has for centuries been applied to the ancient monastic night and early morning services (Matins and Lauds) of the last three days of Holy Week, which in medieval times came to be celebrated on the preceding evenings. By drawing upon material from each of the former three offices of Tenebrae, this one-hour service provides an extended meditation upon, and a prelude to, the events in Jesus’ life between the Last Supper and the Resurrection.

  • April 2, 2021 12:00 Noon Good Friday Liturgy
    April 2, 2021 12:00 noon GOOD FRIDAY Good Friday Liturgy Welcome to this new medium of corporate worship here at St. John’s! The current necessity to practice social distancing enables us to remain attentive to the care for the vulnerable among us, which is tied to the well-being of the entire human family. It also challenges us. We are attentive as well to caring for our need for collective worship and praise of God. So, we forge forward together with new ways of worship and ask for God’s grace and love to be known as we venture with trust into the unfamiliar. Thank you for joining us today. Whether a long-standing parishioner, a new member, or someone joining us for the first time, this is new for all of us! We hope you will, through the words and music we raise to God together, sense God’s work within you and among us all. May our worship ground, strengthen, and guide us this day and always. GOOD FRIDAY LITURGY PRELUDE: It is Enough from Elijah Felix Mendelssohn Elliot Matheny, bass THE SALUTATION AND COLLECT Blessed be our God. For ever and ever. Amen. Almighty God, we pray you graciously to behold this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed, and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. HYMN 474 When I survey the wondrous cross Rockingham 1 When I survey the wondrous cross 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet where the young Prince of Glory died, sorrow and love flow mingled down! my richest gain I count but loss, Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, and pour contempt on all my pride.

  • Deacons' Customary
    A Customary for Deacons The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri Introduction This customary sets out guidelines for the role of deacons in liturgies, both in the local worshiping communities, and in diocesan liturgies, e.g. ordinations and confirmations. These should be considered norms for the liturgy. It has been approved by Bishop Deon and by the Community of Deacons for use in the diocese. The Deacon in the Liturgy--General Guidelines The Book of Common Prayer clearly establishes three distinct functions of a deacon in the liturgy: § Proclamation of the Gospel § Preparation of the Eucharistic Table § The Dismissal § Bidding the Confession § Bidding the Creed § Bidding the Prayers of the People If there is a deacon in a worshipping community, the deacon should carry out these functions in the Sunday liturgies and all major feasts and celebrations. The deacon is expected to serve in weekday liturgies as her/his schedule permits. Vestments The usual vestments for a deacon in celebrations of the Holy Eucharist are alb, dalmatic, and deacon’s stole in the appropriate liturgical color. If the worshiping community has dalmatics that match its chasubles, the deacon wears that dalmatic. If the worshiping community does not have matching vestments, a plain ivory or white dalmatic with the stole worn on the outside is appropriate and preferred. **Deacons are not required to own dalmatics.** In liturgies without a Eucharist, the deacon may wear an alb with deacon’s stole, or a cassock, surplice, and deacon’s stole. If the deacon is officiating at Morning or Evening Prayer, she/he may wear cassock and surplice with deacon’s stole, tippet, or academic hood.

  • New Friendships Blossom It All Begins with with Relationships by Ju L I E Mu R R Ay Ac Ti N G in T E R C H a N G E Ed It O R
    APRIL - MAY 2013 Interchange Volume XLI, No. 2 news from the Diocese of Southern Ohio www.diosohio.org Reshaping Christianity: New friendships blossom It all begins with with relationships BY JUL I E MURRAY AC ti NG IN T ERCHANGE ED it OR Looking at the statistics, it would be easy to become depressed about the future of the Church in the United States. Surveys show that church mem- bership is going down, and fewer people believe in God. In the last decade alone, there has been a 5 percent decline in the number of people who identify themselves as Christian in the US. According to the Pew Research Center, in 2012 that number stands at 73%, but this is down from nearly 98% just 50 years ago and the biggest decline has been in white, Protestant denominations. But rather than looking on in despair, Diana Butler Bass tells us that reshaping congregational life in a responsive way to our chang- ing culture can help us preserve the Church for our children and grandchil- dren well into the future. Butler Bass, an internationally known speaker, author and teacher who writes books, columns and blogs and gives talks and workshops all aimed to help people understand faith both analytically and personally, spoke to a large crowd – Episcopalians and others – from all over Southern Ohio attending the Commission on Congregational Life’s Best Practices confer- ence April 20. The event, which is typically held for congregations receiv- ing CoCL grants to challenge and help establish some best practices seen in healthy congregations, was open to everyone as the CoCL invited the St.

And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they dressed him in a purple robe. They kept coming up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and striking him on the face. Pilate went out again and said to them, “Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no case against him.” So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!” When the chief priests and the police saw him, they shouted, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him; I find no case against him.” The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has claimed to be the Son of God.” Now when Pilate heard this, he was more afraid than ever.
